I think all of this sounds great, especially the last part. Because I have a feeling there will be a lot of people who won't qualify, now since we got the food by a good price, why waste having additional people coming to the conference. That is why waste the interest, again they won't be completely neglected, as I said every morning after their breakfast we'll have shuttles heading to the Venue.
I think this is a great plan, and I myself had almost the same plan from very start.
